About Us

A Brief History

American Crescent Elevator Corp. was established in Sept. 1976 when American Elevator (Est. 1908) and Crescent City Elevator (Est. 1973) were merged to form American Crescent Elevator Corporation. In 1985, American Crescent Elevator Manufacturing Corporation was established to provide equipment to distributors on a nationwide basis.

Since that time we have provided equipment to approximately 100 elevator companies including the major elevator suppliers. We have supplied elevators for all branches of the Federal Government, including V.A. Hospitals.

Equipment & Facilities

Our equipment is the latest state of the art design and incorporates some of the most trusted and reliable components in the elevator industry. Some of which are, Maxton valves, Allweiler and IMO pumps, Century and Leroy Summer motors, which make up the major components of our pump unit.

All major components of the elevator are manufactured by American Crescent Elevator with the exception of the previously mentioned supplies. Our cabs are all custom built in house by quality craftsman with years of experience and knowledge. All cabs are completely assembled and checked for alignment and proper finish before crating and shipping.

Our Procedures

Slings and platforms are built from structural steel members accurately assembled for solid performance and reliability. Our jacks are constructed from the finest steel products available. Pistons are made from D.O.M. tubing, which is a superior product in finish, wall uniformity and concentricity.

Because we manufacture the complete elevator package, we feel that we have better control of the product and can guarantee a firm delivery date.
